Holy rapid fire commitment binge. Welcome, Josh!
At this rate, it's gonna be the Fab 45.
Just kidding, this isn't the SEC.
Hopefully Metellus is the first of many from Flanagan and Flanagan becomes what Pahokee once was for Michigan.
A look at his twitter profile shows no signs of it. Still retweeting Michigan stuff.
Maybe Reese doesn't want to play FB in college since that's what Michigan is recruiting him as.
He did visit UL today.
Poor Ace
Eh, being too busy at work is a lot better than the alternative.

Is 10 commits in half a month as crazy as I think it is?
Not quite as crazy as 12 commits in a single weekend.
It's crazy but not as crazy as that one time Beilein had subs...
Technically we are already out of space...
Sorry Rashan and Kaleb!

Congrats to Josh! Glad to have him aboard.
That puts us at 16 commits now, which is two above what we currently have space for. Obviously there will be attrition so there's not much to worry about there.
Also, according to this 247 thread, David Reese was visiting Louisville today, the school he was committed to before Michigan. There are allegedly rumors of him and/or Dele Harding thinking of decommitting, which would bring us right back down to 14 players.
This thread is the only source I've seen, but it's not the most outlandish idea, since Harding committed to Hoke and Reese was already committed to Louisville at one point. Allegedly Reese also wants to be told he's going to be a LB, not a FB, and with how many LBs we already have committed/are recruiting, that might not be a given.
We shall see - I would not be surprised. Harding however was at one of the recent camps (PA?) so it would have been interesting to have been a fly on that wall - except it was outdoors and there were no walls. But you know what I mean. Reese was down there in the AL camp too.
It's a long way to Feb.
As for # of commits I think most expect about 7-8 openings to arrive by next Feb. A lot of 4 year guys in the 2012 class who have not played meaningful football wont get be asked back for a 5th year (guys like Hayes and Heitzman have played way more than theese 2012 dudes) and there are a few medicals and then I'd say some potential names in the 2013s. And you are going to get 1-2 Ferns Countess types where you are WTF!?
I dont see us oversigning - I just see a lot of relatively obvious names leaving the program - most of which are simply 4 year guys who are done and have their degree hopefully and then some medicals. Harbaugh wants those scholarships working for us rather than fallow.
He may have waited too long.
ah thats unfortunate if true. reese could have decent potential at FB but i dont think hes athletic enough to be guaranteed spot on LB depth chart. he plays hard and seems like a good, tough kid, but other targets like jonathon jones (and commit like dytarious johnson) are much better LB prospects.
i really like harbaughs attitude re recruiting athletes and kids trying out at desired positions before coaches deciding where they best help the team. most reported that the coaches would give reese a look on D, though they envision him at FB - if louisvilles willing to guarantee him several years working at LB then maybe thats his best move. best of luck either way
mean very little, unfortunately for Reese, if that's what happens.

My head is spinning. First Bredeson, now Metellus, possibly two more from Flanagan? WOW!
Is that a set of triple commits from Flanagan?
Or triplet commits?
Or, if we count Bredeson, quads?
I don't care what is called, it is all good, and Ace is putting in OT.
And Jonathan Jones tomorrow?? Someone hold me

Who's Next?
yikes
What's wrong Mean Joe? Bummed we're pulling in another low koala-ty player?
Yikes this guy its HARD. I just watched is Hudl video.
I must be out of the loop... can someone explain the "two more" thing?
Flanagan HS. Bush Jr, Gil, Metellus. The latter two seems most likely - the first one is the 'glamour' name.
